+1 (binding)
I remain tentative as there are clearly some risks associated with the podling.
I'm concerned about its potential to consume disproportionate foundation
resources relative to other projects. I also think it'll face a an uphill
battle fostering a community that can both work well with other members of the
ecosystem, gain the required momentum, and get to the point that it would
survive the withdrawal of any single major player - all things I hope they
strive to do.
I hope the podling will look closely at its scope in relation to the available
committers, and at how to handle the user community - neither rushing
incubation for the purpose of transitioning them, nor leaving them stranded if
incubation is prolonged or fails.
However, I believe that incubation is the right time to sort those out, and I
see that all of these things are being taken into consideration by the
proposers. I wish them all the best of luck!
Cheers,
Brett
